TO GAME COMPANIES:
First of all - thank you for your work and contribution to the world of gaming.
As mentioned before:
You are the Easter Bunny.
We (the modders) are simply painting the eggs.
But we are actively engaged in projects of serious game improvements.
Mind that we are doing this in our spare time for zero ecomic benefit.
I strongly encourage you to consider staff candidates from the Stalker modding scene.
This is likely to be one of the best places for you to find motivation and dedication for a professional development environment.
Several active modders are well capable of taking part in an actual and professional game development process.
And if you choose not to I wish you the best in development and hope that at least some inspiration was found here.
Thank you

Recon in the metro would be more like Artyom and the other scouts that patrol / guard and lookout for mutants on the outskirts tunnels of VDNKh. They aren't rangers, just outpost guards. This is going by the first book which is alot more different than the game. But regardless, the first thing I thought when looking at this dlc on steam (friggin summer sale!) the other night was Miserys classes.
The Chronicles pack sounds cool, Khan is a strange fish :)

Those are not classes. Its just the position the soldier is taking in the unit. Besides that they are all the same - they don't have any advantages over each other. Its just more interesting way to say "You are taking role of soldier of the Fourth Reich, soldier from the Red Line and soldier from the Polis".
